Shomuni

1998–2013 · 4 seasons

A lively, feel-good office comedy where underdog women band together to outwit smug male colleagues, mixing light satire with warm camaraderie.

Overview: Shomuni, that's the common name given to General Affairs Section 2 of a trading company. Here are six women who have ended up in this department known as "the dump" for office ladies. But Chinatsu Tsuboi (Makiko Esumi) declares that the value of woman is equal to the number of men. With her as the central focus they create a totally new type of office lady drama that does away with those heartless men still caught up in worn-out social ideas and the class system within the company.
